The story of their opening is a blend of awesome Vegas history and mob folklore which you can read more about here

Film pop culture abounds! The 1960 Ocean’s 11 as well as Viva Las Vegas were filmed at The Flamingo, and the film Bugsy depicts Bugsy Siegel’s involvement with the casino (although it’s not totally historically accurate…!)

I also like that the casino is positioned right next to the Linq Promenade, one of my favorite places to bring folks visiting town.
